mixer taps

[derek_374389481]

i have a coachman wanderer 2005 which has mixer taps fitted.

the mixer tap has come loose for no apparent reason when i try to tighten it it just comes loose again straight away, not sure if there should be some sort of locking nut if so i can't see anything what looks like a locking nut.

any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hi Derek,

Am I correct in saying the tap is secured on the underside by a large black nut? It could just be the nut is slipping the threads

yes the tap is secured by a brass nut,i will replace the threaded bar what fits into the tap and the nut and see if that works.i wasn't sure if there should be a locking nut of sorts.

thanks for your reply

Hi Derek, same thing happened to me.

You need a 13mm long socket or 13mm open ended spanner and feel the nut under the worktop and simply tighten, gently.
